And with that, usher in a Tory/Reform coalition?

Did I read somewhere that Beff Rigby is already gunning for Burnham?

I can here her monotone voice shouting “General Election” already.

Who is Paul Holden and why should I read his book, "The Fraud"?

For whatever it might be worth, Alastair Campbell also thinks Streeting is going to be offered Chancellor.

Watching Keir Starmer delivering his notice of resignation out side the front door of number ten, I felt disgusted, saddened, and angry at the grotesque unfairness of what has been done to a fine leader and the best PM the UK has had in twenty years. It just seems so wrong - apart from anything else, the Labour Party just doesn’t do this sort of thing . Fuck knows, we tried to do it when the party was led by an incompetent charlatan who was taking the party to the brink of electoral extinction , and it didn’t bloody work then. The Tories used to do it every six months, and look where it got them. Why on earth are we doing it now to a deeply principled leader of immense integrity and decency who, unlike JC, at least has the pragmatic nous actually to pay attention to the concerns of his parliamentary party ? Have we learned nothing ?

Finding it very hard to accept, but I dare say that’s Realpolitik.

For probably only the second time in forty years, I’m considering ending my membership of the party.
